I wonder how many ChatBots are portrayed as humans on websites that offer 24/7 customer support. It interesting to see how long it takes before people trust a ChatBot to solve their customer issues over another human. From personal experience, when I have to get hardware replaced at work, I prefer to speak with another person rather than a possible ChatBot on the website. I’ve some instances where I am forced to keep explaining the same issue over again whereas I know that I usually won’t have to with a person over the phone. I can’t wait to see how these bots will evolve and change the face customer support.

As annoying as these chat bots usually are, they save a ton of time. I know people who worked with customer support and there are some many calls that come in that they describe as incredibly simple and not worth their time. By having chat bots that can actually assist people and successfully imitate, maybe companies like Microsoft can start rolling out bots that people are comfortable with using. I know personally that whenever I call somewhere that has an automated line menu or voice-controlled system, I am immediately more annoyed than I should be at both the issue and the business so if companies can convince people that they aren’t talking to a bot, that will surely reflect well on your business.

Although this is an interesting feature of AI.

In a recent Webcast, “How Investors Can Identify Disruptive Innovation and What it can Add to a Portfolio”. It talks about disruptive technology should be able to do the following. First, “enable rapid […]

Another example of innovative, disruptive technology is 3D printing. In the near future, 3D printing is set to transform the way that items are designed, manufactured and distributed in many of the key, evolving industries. By cutting labor costs and improving time efficiency, 3D printing can use a wide variety of materials and techniques to create a final product. Specifically in the automotive industry, 3D printing is seen as a tool to benefit business. In 2014, vehicle manufacturer Local Motors revealed the world’s first 3D printed car, named Strati after the Italian word for layers. Local Motors’ next project is to release an entire series of 3D printed cars called LM3D. As automakers adopt 3D Printing, rival companies will experiment with materials and deliverables to offer the best product, including IoT connectivity. The construction industry and 3D Print technology could answer the current cry for housing in an overpopulated world. 3D Printing has the potential to disrupt the construction industry on a fundamental level, especially in cutting the necessary labor supply. Lastly in the health care industry, 3D printing has been used to make surgical models for training and trial surgery, as well as creating functional replacement body parts from prosthetic limbs to organs and skin. Across industries, 3D printing has proved that it can penetrate the market and make a lasting impact, along with saving both time and money.

I agree that 3D printing can be disruptive – however, I think the hype has bit died around it. But as we learn from Gartner hype cycle, this is expected. The true benefits from a new technology will often realize slower than the initial projections let us believe. 3D printing has also interesting copyright and other legal implications if people can ‘copy’ physical objects like digital files.

This is a very interesting topic and really hones in on the idea that technology is for a business purpose. As you mentioned, Netflix had a business purpose to provide movies at a more affordable rate. I believe in the future, all businesses are at risk to be taken over by technological improvements. For instance, Uber eliminated the costly feature of taxi shields, which in NYC can cost hundreds of thousands. Building upon your idea, this led to massive investment potential for investors. In another 10 years, disruptive technology will greatly affect our daily lives.

It’s always interesting to study how disruptive technology can upheave societal standards of living. At the exponential rate that technological advances are progressing, it’s intriguing to see what type of technological innovation will reshape society in the future. I feel like one of the most glaring disruptive innovations is smartphones and the capabilities they have provided in the last 10 years or so. The ability to access any kind of information or entertainment at the touch of your fingertips has revolutionized communication. I wonder how quickly society will adapt to these new disruptive systems in the future and how quickly universities will begin expanding their courses to keep up with these technological disruptions.

Smartphones have truly changed society, there is no doubt about it. But sometimes the most influential technologies are not those that initially look like game changers (Internet was for a long time an obscure toy for academics and engineers). There is a lot of hype around technologies that fade away without much impact (at least nowhere near the hype). Interesting question is, how/can we distinguish true game changers from fads?

Mercy Technology Service, a healthcare technology company, designed a SaSS cloud-based PACS system to decrease expenditure and increase efficiency for medium size or small size hospital. According to the article […]

Consumers will be very pleased to spend less time and hopefully less money receiving healthcare services. While the process is improving, it’s possible that service providers will forget the human element to healthcare. I hope that technology can also be used the healthcare environment to empower patients to better understand their health.

Faster results that are connected through one cloud technology will no doubt make the hospital run more efficiently, which will help the overall health of the public. Hospitals are different from the average business because the quality of the hospital has a relatively large impact on the surrounding community. Not only will faster service allow for decreased wait times for patients, but for doctors and support staff to more effectively use their time. This transfer of effort can be applied to better service and be better for the public and also make the hospital more money. This solution is not only helping the hospital, but the community. this is just another example of how IT systems can make the world better!
